Konstantin:
Thanks for the tip. Straw for Linux looks *great*!

Except... darn. This is how I still suck at Linux in general, and YDL in
particular. I downloaded straw from the Web site. Not a problem.
I untarred the file (tar -xzf straw-0.22.tar.gz). Quick and simple.
The "build" instructions are listed in the README file. It asks whether
I have python 2.2 installed:
[clint@YellowPup clint]$ sudo yum list python
Password:
[...]
Looking in Installed Packages:
Name Arch Version Repo
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
python ppc 2.2.2-21a db
This looks good.
Next, the README says to check for required packages:
[clint]$ python setup.py install-modules-check
invalid command name 'install-modules-check'
WTF?
This is what I hate about Linux. The instructions never work. I have
tried variations on this ("./setup.py" was not helpful). What do I do
now? Where can I find *real* instructions that do not make assumptions
about my level of knowledge?
Thanks!
